Abstract

Sequence detection is studied for communication channels with intersymbol interference and non-Gaussian noise using a novel adaptive receiver structure. The receiver adapts itself to the noise environment using an algorithm which employs a Gaussian mixture distribution model and the expectation maximization algorithm. Two alternate procedures are studied for sequence detection. These are a procedure based on the Viterbi (1967) algorithm and a symbol-by-symbol detection procedure. The Viterbi algorithm minimizes the probability the sequence is in error and the symbol-by-symbol detector minimizes symbol error rate, which are different
